Il poeta perduto

Dante Mezzadri wants to see an old friend, nicknamed the Iguana, whom he has lost sight of for many years, and who has managed to turn their common youthful passion for poetry into a job, becoming a famous writer and poet. The man runs away from his bourgeois life and his wife to live without a fixed abode on the Roman coast, prints and tries to sell his poetry collections. At night he sleeps in a park of old allegorical carnival floats, inside a carta-machete tank, and waits for the opportunity to meet his old friend, who however never shows up for appointments in the places they frequented when they were young, now in ruins . Dante's poetry booklets are of no interest to anyone and in order to support himself he is forced to "change products": he begins to sell the notorious "cannibal's pill" on behalf of young drug dealers, a new drug that sells like hot cakes and which causes sensory and consumerist ecstasy . However, he realizes that this powerful drug is very dangerous for those who take it, comes into conflict with his ethical conscience and throws all the pills into the sea. However, the drug dealers want to get their money back.

"Cotton Flowers" centers on the lives of four privileged teenagers. Though they're still safe and innocent, a dysfunctional value system leaves them unprepared to defend themselves against predators and temptation. Brit (Keila Collins), Sophie, Todd, and Andy, a very unlikely group, find themselves working together on an economics project their teacher Miss Rose assigns. They all believe they are in control and wiser than they really are. They face harsh consequences to which their parents are oblivious. Sophie deals with a slutty reputation and a virgin's frame of reference. Todd feels invincible and decides to mug a stranger with dire results. Andy faces a homosexual experience when disrespect for his parents forces them to lock him out after curfew. And Brit finds that being a bitch that does drugs is a hard thing for the most popular girl at school to hide. This film clearly depicts the darker side of teenage life and the consequences that often accompany the mistakes so many of us have made.
